SUBJECT: WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (ZG4):
WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR POWER BACK DOOR ON
CERTAIN 2008–2013 MY HIGHLANDER AND
HIGHLANDER HYBRID VEHICLES
Background
Toyota has received reports of customer concerns in which the power back door
does not close properly. In some cases, the power back door may reach the fully
closed position and then reverse to the open position. In certain instances, the
power back door closes, but produces a pop or clunking noise.
Applicability
The power back door is covered by Toyota’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty* for 3
years or 36,000 miles (whichever occurs first). However, Toyota is announcing a
Warranty Enhancement Program to cover repairs related to when the power back
door does not close properly as described above.
Primary Coverage offers the Warranty Enhancement until October 25, 2018,
with no mileage limitation.
After the Primary Coverage period ends, the Secondary Coverage is applicable
for eight (8) years from the date-of-first use, or 150,000 miles, whichever
occurs first.
Verify VIN applicability for this Warranty Enhancement by checking the Technical
Information System (TIS) before completing any repairs.
Direct marketing of this Warranty Enhancement is strictly prohibited pursuant to
the Toyota Warranty Policy 5.21, “Warranty Solicitation.” Non-compliance of this
policy may result in a claim debit.
